kuad82001 Posted December 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just got a Elmarit 28mm/ASPH and the hood falls off very easily. Anyone else encounter this? Grateful, Dennis Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted December 25, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Is this the current (since 2016) version with a metal screw-on hood, or the 2006-2016 version with a plastic clip-on hood? Edited December 25, 2018 by adan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted December 25, 2018 Share #4 Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Strange. I have the same lens (11606 ?) and the hood 12526 (A42) that came with it clips very well, it never falls off. Have a look at the four clips with springs if they respond well when you push on the side buttons. But you may prefer, like me screw-in vented hood type E39 available cheap from net or store.

kuad82001 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted December 25, 2018 I googled the issue and it seems to happen to others as well I have heard that screw Mount Hoods can be dangerous in case of a bump Is that true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuad82001 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) The clips seem to respond well and it clicks when it sets in the notch But still pops off easily; you have to hold the hood in place when removing the cap or it will snap off Edited December 25, 2018 by kuad82001 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted December 25, 2018 Share #7 Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't know. Never bump my lenses as I'm usually careful with my gears. If the hood is faulty, replace with another one. Edited December 25, 2018 by a.noctilux Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuad82001 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted December 25, 2018 Lol! By "bump" I meant any slight contact Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted December 25, 2018 Share #9 Posted December 25, 2018 I've experienced some variation with those little rectangular clip-on hoods (12524, also used for 35 Summicrons dating back to the 1980s - will even fit lenses from the 1960s). I tried a 2000s-era one once and it was loose and wobbly on a 1980s lens. Probably individual sample variation, though. Weak springs, a poorly molded plastic part, who knows? Yes, a screw-on hood might transmit damage to a lens, precisely because it is more firmly attached. The clip-ons will "break away" before the impact force is strong enough to damage the lens. However, that is mostly theoretical - my experience (going all the way back to the 70s with Nikkor screw-on hoods) is that even metal hoods bend or dent to absorb the shock of an "accident" long before the lens itself is affected, in 999 cases out of 1000.

enboe Posted December 25, 2018 Share #10 Posted December 25, 2018 No issues here. It is one of my favorite lenses, by the way. I would love to find one of the rare silver ones to complement my silver camera body. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuad82001 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share #11 Posted December 25, 2018 I have a vented hood that stays put; is there much of a difference as preventing flare and such? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuad82001 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted December 25, 2018 I mean is there a difference between a vented hood and a non vented Hood? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In use, with each hood on the lens and lateral/direct light, shielding can be effective more or less. For best shielding adverse light, rectangular hood is better than round hood. In my use, I prefer less OVF blocking of vented round hood with 10/15% more view at bottom/right than 12526 rectangular hood At some point, I drilled a hole in the rectangular hood, like here: Welcome, dear visitor!

kuad82001 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share #15 Posted December 26, 2018 Would the metal version 12524 alleviate this issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 12524 (older "same" as 12526) is plastic. Only the push-in buttons are metallic (if that is what you mean) but the hood plastic. Remember that with "older 12524" you will loose the hood's cap as the "clippings" on the hood to retain it's cap is not as "capping" as newer 12526.

lct Posted December 26, 2018 Share #17 Posted December 26, 2018 The 12524 hood had no hood cap at the time of the Summicron 35/2 v4. At least there were none in the box when i bought mine in the eighties and my Leitz catalogue from 1981 doesn't refer to any hood cap either. Reason why the 12524 hood has less pronounced retaining nubs than those of the 12526 hood i guess. On the 12524, the nubs were meant to assist when mounting/unmounting the hood, not to grip a not yet existing hood cap then. The later 14043 hood cap will then fall of more easily if it is used on the 12524 instead of 12526 hood. Anyway, both 12524 and 12526 hoods are made of plastic indeed. None of them are loose on my 35/2 v4, 35/2 asph v1 or 28/2.8 asph v1 lenses i must say but wear and tear and/or sample variation may be the culprit. Welcome, dear visitor!

Keith (M) Posted January 23, 2019 Share #19 Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) The internal diameter of hood (12526) on my 2012 28mm Elmarit-M ASPH has four sprung legs which require a very firm push on the two release tabs to actuate. Even with the sprung legs fully retracted, the hood is a tight push onto the lens barrel. Can't see it ever falling off! Welcome, dear visitor!

Reini Posted January 23, 2019 Share #20 Posted January 23, 2019 I have just ordered for my Elmarit 28mm and the Summarit 75mm 2 screw Lens Hoods. Both including shipping at 16 euros ... will then report. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
